I did it Saturday. I might've been #2 but I guess they don't keep track after your feat. [Actually I don't know if it was "in a day" or a combo of the points and bonuses I earned from 1 month of BJ grinding. The girl said I got DIAD but I was close to the necessary point total anyways.] I got the card and went straight to the lounge... and wasn't all that impressed (yet, but I hear Vegas lounges are better). They said they will start having a buffet of free food next Saturday (April 6), the drinks were marginally cheaper (beers were $3.50 instead of $4) and they had a selection of fine drinks available on the menu(Dom, Cristal). Since Cincinnati is so new and most people got their points outside of Ohio, it was almost deserted and quiet in there, which was a nice change of pace from the floor. At one point there were 7 employees and 5 patrons in the lounge. Nice place to charge my phone (which dies quickly at the casino).
On a side note, since you brought up Video Poker and I might as well mention this for others thinking of visiting, I think all of the machines are 9/5 JOB and not 9/6... even the $5 ($25 max) and $10 ($50 max) machines.
